“This is where Nobel Laureate Mother Teresa lived most of her life,” tells omniscient guide Nilanjana as we peep inside a small room of a modest suburban house in Kolkata, the gateway city to Eastern India.

The room, just big enough to fit a single bed and a desk is nothing extraordinary, telling the person who lived there led a very simple life. While standing there I sense a kind of holiness in the air. So does Anna, a visitor from Belgium. “It touches my soul,” she says.
